50 Years of Hippokrates Birthday Reunion

As Hippokrates celebrates its 50th anniversary, we warmly invite you to return home for a special evening of nostalgia, reconnection, and celebration.

For many of us, Hippokrates was more than just a residence — it was a home filled with lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, traditions, and moments that shaped who we became.

The evening will begin with guided residence tours, offering you the chance to walk familiar corridors, revisit old rooms, and relive some of the memories that made the residence so special. Thereafter, alumni are invited to gather at the Club House before joining one another on the renowned “Hippo Grass” for a magical outdoor dinner experience beneath fairy lights and the Tygerberg sky.

In honour of the beloved “Potjie and Punch” tradition, the evening's menu will feature a hearty curry potjie and spit braai experience.

Terwyl Hippokrates sy 50ste bestaansjaar vier, nooi ons jou hartlik uit om terug te keer huis toe vir 'n spesiale aand van nostalgie, verbinding en viering.

Vir baie van ons was Hippokrates meer as net 'n koshuis — dit was 'n tuiste vol lewenslange vriendskappe, onvergeetlike herinneringe, tradisies en oomblikke wat gevorm het wie ons vandag is.

Die aand begin met begeleide koshuistoere, wat jou die geleentheid gee om weer deur bekende gange te stap, ou kamers te besoek en herinneringe te herleef wat die koshuis so besonders gemaak het. Daarna word alumni genooi om by die Klubhuis bymekaar te kom voordat julle saam op die bekende “Hippo Gras” onder liggies en die Tygerberg-hemel 'n magiese buitelug-ete geniet.

Ter ere van die geliefde “Potjie and Punch”- tradisie sal die aand se spyskaart 'n geurige kerrie potjiekos en spitbraai-ervaring insluit.
